About me
I've been in education for over 16 years as a teacher, instructional coach, mentor, curriculum designer, consultant, and educational leader. Currently, I serve the UCI CalTeach community as a coordinator, program designer, instructor, and supervisor. I collaborate with fellow educators and university partners to design and facilitate professional learning experiences for teachers developing and refining their culturally sustaining pedagogy. My commitment to social justice is embodied in the utility of mathematics to understand and respond to social issues that impact local communities. I speak at and organize local and national conferences to inspire and empower other teachers in their commitments to shift math education to be relevant for all learners and foster student agency to use mathematics as a tool to fight for justice. I am a proud first generation Korean American, a loving wife and mother, and an avid baker.
